Some of the ones mentioned here have gotten me.

The saddest movie I ever saw was Dancer in the Dark, with Bjork. I normally can weep a tear or two if a movie's sufficiently sad and well-done. But that one had me sobbing.

I don't know, most movies if they try can have me crying. Even things like Boromir dying always bring a tear to my eye. Then you've got ones like Horse Whisperer...jesus that is depressing.

Edit: didn't realise I swore, my bad

Marley and me would have made me cry if I had seen it at the cinema. Tears shed for those lost dollars that I won't get back in a "I can't believe I shelled out good folding stuff for an Owen Wilson movie.".

I'm lucky, my wife shares my tastes in film, and wouldn't drag me along to see one if she can help it.

(Dog owner movies don't make me cry, no matter how the dog dies. It must be a dog-owner thing if it makes them cry.)

I've never owned a dog, and never wanted one. The neighbour's dogs are both sooks and attention-whores - although realistically, greyhounds should NOT be city dogs.).

I can't think of a movie right off the bat, but just a few days ago I showed my girlfired (a huge dog person) the Futurama episode "Jurassic Bark." I'm deeply ambivelent about dogs, and it makes me tear up every. damn. time. We'd been together a year, and it was the first time she saw me like that.

The only real media that does that to me is the ending to the book "Flowers for Algernon" and the Fountains of Wayne song "Action Hero."

Jurassic Bark is a damn fine piece of writing, and yeah, even people who aren't into dogs tear up for that one.

Omadon's Realm

Shawshank, when the little old man with the raven leaves the prison and can't cope with the outside world.

Babylon 5, when Kosh has to pay the price for the vorlon intervention and Sheridan dreams of his dad.

Picard playing the flute at the end of The Inner Light.

King Kong. All of them.

Pretty much any animal dying in a film. I can watch hundreds of people dying in a war film but if a horse is shot I get a bit snuffly.

Also the animal rescue ads on tv, have to turn them over or be depressed for hours.

The only time a movie made me cry, might be a bit old for some of you, is the movie Shenandoah. Its about one mans family and how they deal with the american civil war. I wont go into details because I dont want to spoil it for anyone who may want to give it a look.
